    Administration of Barack Obama, 2012 Remarks at a Campaign Rally in Charlottesville, Virginia August 29, 2012 The President. Hello, Virginia! Go Hoos! Wa-hoo-wah! I still don't know what a Wahoo is. [Laughter] But I know we've got some here today. It's is good to be back. I love coming to this pavilion. I want to thank Mathias for the great introduction. Give him a big round of applause. I want to thank my great friends, Tom Perriello and your next United States Senator, Tim Kaine. So it is good to be back in Charlottesville. Audience member. I love you, Obama! The President. I love you back. Before I get started, let me just say that on the flight over here, I was on the phone with our FEMA Director, Craig Fugate and Janet Napolitano, who does our homeland security, as well as some of the Governors and mayors who are now being affected and are having to deal with Hurricane Isaac. And I think it's important for all of us—because we know we've got some prayerful people here—to just let people on the coast know our thoughts are with you, our prayers are with you. We are going to make sure that we are doing every single thing that we need to do to ensure that the folks down there are taken care of and have the support and the love of the rest of this country. Because when things like this happen, there are no Democrats or Republicans. There are just Americans.

    Volume 6, No. 10, November 14, 2008 Senator Barack Obama Wins Presidency Illinois Senator Barack Obama was elected the 44th President of the United States on November 4, 2008, winning 364 electoral votes and 53% of the popular vote. Senator John McCain of Arizona won 163 electoral votes and 46% of the vote. 66,361,433 votes were cast for Senator Obama and 58,024,608 were cast for Senator McCain. The Blue State-Red State count was 28- 22. In addition to gaining the White House, Democrats in both the U.S. Senate and the U.S. House picked up additional seats. U.S. Senate Democrats have picked up six seats in the Senate with the possibility of three more, depending on the outcome of contested races. Currently, there are 57 Democratic seats, including two Independents, Senators Bernie Sanders (VT) and Joe Lieberman (CT), who both caucus with the Democrats. Republicans now hold 40 Senate seats. Before the election, Democrats held 51 seats, including the two Independent Senators, and Republicans held 49 seats. The three undecided elections that will determine whether the Democrats have a filibuster-proof (60 votes) Senate are in Minnesota, Georgia, and Alaska. In Minnesota, Republican Senator Norm Coleman and challenger Democrat Al Franken await the outcome of a vote recount. In Georgia, a runoff is scheduled between Republican Senator Saxby Chambliss and challenger Democrat Jim Martin on December 2. In Alaska, convicted felon and incumbent Republican Senator Ted Stevens narrowly trails challenger Democrat Mark Begich. ADEA Members Encouraged to Complete Survey on Health Care Reform Now On ADEA Website With the historic presidential election now over, President-Elect Barack Obama’s administration and the 111th Congress will turn their attention to the many challenges facing our nation, one of which is health care reform.

  • Campaign Finance Reform Jurisprudence Under the Roberts Court
    Stare Indecisis: Campaign Finance Reform Jurisprudence under the Roberts Court By Andrew Leiendecker Advisor: Professor Chris Edelson, School of Public Affairs For University Honors Spring 2014 Abstract: The following research paper consists of a detailed examination of the Supreme Court’s campaign finance reform jurisprudence under the leadership of Chief Justice John Roberts. This paper examines the holdings and implications of seven primary cases: Randall v. Sorrell (2006), FEC v. Wisconsin Right to Life (2007), Davis v. FEC (2008), Citizens United v. FEC (2010), Arizona Free Enterprise Club PAC v. Bennett (2011), McCutcheon v. FEC (2014), and the forthcoming Susan B. Anthony List v. Driehaus (2014). Examining these cases three overarching problems emerge. First, the Court must reexamine and expand their definition of corruption as applied to campaign finance activities. Second, the Court has severely departed from the pre-Roberts standard (illustrated in Austin v. Michigan Chamber of Commerce and Nixon v. Shrink Missouri Government PAC) of legislative deference on issues of campaign finance. And third, the Roberts Court’s conservative majority appears to be growing more and more comfortable with reversing or ignoring precedential campaign finance cases, including Austin, Nixon, McConnell v. FEC, and even Buckley v. Valeo. This has allowed for a dramatic reduction in the amount of campaign finance regulation in American elections, resulting in an empowering of wealthy individuals, candidates, and corporations to dominate an election cycle at the expense of the voices of everyday Americans, which threatens to undermine the public’s continued faith in our democratic process and the reputation of the Supreme Court itself.

    (Slip Opinion) OCTOBER TERM, 2013 1 Syllabus NOTE: Where it is feasible, a syllabus (headnote) will be released, as is being done in connection with this case, at the time the opinion is issued. The syllabus constitutes no part of the opinion of the Court but has been prepared by the Reporter of Decisions for the convenience of the reader. See United States v. Detroit Timber & Lumber Co., 200 U. S. 321, 337. SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES Syllabus SUSAN B. ANTHONY LIST ET AL. v. DRIEHAUS ET AL. CERTIORARI TO THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE SIXTH CIRCUIT No. 13–193. Argued April 22, 2014—Decided June 16, 2014 Respondent Driehaus, a former Congressman, filed a complaint with the Ohio Elections Commission alleging that petitioner Susan B. An- thony List (SBA) violated an Ohio law that criminalizes certain false statements made during the course of a political campaign. Specifi- cally, Driehaus alleged that SBA violated the law when it stated that his vote for the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) was a vote in favor of “taxpayer funded abortion.” After Driehaus lost his re-election bid, the complaint was dismissed, but SBA contin- ued to pursue a separate suit in Federal District Court challenging the law on First Amendment grounds. Petitioner Coalition Opposed to Additional Spending and Taxes (COAST) also filed a First Amendment challenge to the Ohio law, alleging that it had planned to disseminate materials presenting a similar message but refrained due to the proceedings against SBA. The District Court consolidated the two lawsuits and dismissed them as nonjusticiable, concluding that neither suit presented a sufficiently concrete injury for purposes of standing or ripeness.

  • Annual Report 2018
    IMPACT 2018REPORT BE THANY h o use services Increased Need … Increased Response SHELTER SHELTER 1 2 FAIRMOUNT WESTWOOD SHELTER SHELTER 3 4 WESTWOOD COLLEGE HILL NEW SHELTER 5 BOND HILL DEAR BETHANY HOUSE FRIENDS, It is with pride and gratitude that we share our 2018 Impact Report. Pride because of the impact we made in the lives of thousands of people this past year and gratitude because so many of YOU — individuals and families, foundations and organizations, small and large companies — stepped up to shelter our city’s most vulnerable and to close the gap in funding caused by the increased number of homeless families at our doors. Robert J. Inkrot Susan S. Schiller 2018 was a year unlike any other in our 36-year history — it was a year of increased need demanding increased response. Our four shelters were overflowing beginning in January, and Bethany House responded to the need by placing families in hotel rooms. By May, we had already sheltered a record number of families, and we were fearful of even more families arriving when the summer spike in family homelessness would begin, as it does every June. The unprecedented increase in the number of families seeking shelter required rental of a fifth shelter facility. In June of 2018, an empty group home on the property of St. Aloysius in Bond Hill became our fifth shelter, replacing the hotel beds. Our families are now scattered among five shelters in South Fairmount, Westwood, College Hill and Bond Hill. 2018 ended with the purchase of property on which to build a new facility, which will consolidate our seven buildings.
